After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I’m honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology.

They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own.

Lemmy.world admins are doing an amazing job dealing with everything. Their recent decision to defederate from exploding heads (or whatever its called) really goes to show that they’re in it for the right reasons. > https://lemmy.world/post/694810?scrollToComments=true

    I think the thing you’re forgetting is that users have the autonomy to find an instance (or create their own) that doesn’t filter that stuff out.

    It also seems to me that instances do a good job of describing themselves and it should be pretty easy to get an idea of what they will/won’t allow.
